About Kennia

Kennia Torres is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 14 years of clinical experience. She focuses on women's issues alongside a range of life challenges such as stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and relationship concerns. Kennia speaks English and Spanish and practices in California.

She uses clear, practical methods to help people make sense of their feelings and behaviors. Sessions often focus on recognizing unhelpful patterns and building small, workable skills for coping. Clients can expect a calm, respectful space to talk through what matters most to them.

Kennia draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. These methods are used to address things such as trauma, depression, codependency, and communication problems. She integrates motivational interviewing and DBT strategies when motivation or emotion regulation are a concern.

Her work includes helping people manage caregiver stress, addiction, commitment and control issues, and family of origin wounds. She also supports those facing divorce or separation, fatherhood issues, and intimacy-related concerns. Sessions may include practical homework and skills practice tailored to each person’s goals.

Therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. The service uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, fills out a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to therapist availability.

Approach-driven care for online therapy

Kennia blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy into online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match what matters to you, which can help with anxiety, grief, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches strategies to change them, useful for depression, anxiety, and addiction. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and reflecting so a person feels understood while they name goals and try new steps.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time based on progress and comfort.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different routines. Video sessions are good for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins, rapid skill coaching, and ongoing contact between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or caregiving schedules.
